TO ALL WHO'MlT MAY-'COCERN-'z Be it known that I, R. B. ANDERSOIgcf Oneida., in the county of Knox, :wel in `the State of Illin'oisflmveV invented certain new and useful Improvements in M'ode of. Securing Buckles and\Rings to Harness; ,andi dohereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the eccomi.

pnnying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

In the ztnnexed Vdrawings, making part of this specification, A. represents any leather strapitcl which it is desirable to secure a. ring or buckle, .or snap-hook. B represents armetullic loop "or box, which-is open at both; ends, andwhich is made tapering or flaring in shape. y l i l In using-this loop or bor: the strap is rst cut in stapel-ing or wedge-shape atits emlyend then passed through the ring or buckle, and then doubled clown, as seen in-th'e figure. The -box is then slipped over the strap thus doubled, amlpr'essed up snugly toward the ringor'buclile, and when s o pressed up that it fits tightly over the strap, screws or rivets dvd are passed through the bo'Ix, and through the strap, and hold the parts firmly' together. When screws are used, thc'buckle or ring may be readilyremoved, by taking out the screws antislippingback'the box B. v Y

Having thus fully described niy-inventi'onpwhat Iclaim as new, und desireto' secure byzetters Patent, is- Securing buckles or rings to' lelther straps by means'ot' a. tapering metallic box,'B, secured by screws dd, whereby the end of strap is enclosed, as speciedi p In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto setmy hand, this 8th day of March, 1868.
